Approved Suitland Mixed-Use Town Center Development Plan

This development plan includes a design review process and standards to establish a framework for business and property owners, tenants, residents, County officials and staff to review planned new development or redevelopment within the Mixed- Use Town Center Zone. This rezoning effort is intended to foster redevelopment and revitalization to create a town center in Suitland that will include the County’s Suitland Manor redevelopment project.

This document provides the following: a brief introduction and historical overview; overall development and design concepts; a specific long-range development concept that proposes areas for mixed-use and residential development with new and improved public spaces; specific design principles and standards to guide development necessary to create a town center; description of the local design review and special permit processes; inventory of existing uses and street right-of-way widths; the permitted uses and special permit process in the M-U-TC Zone; and recommended plant species.
